Tonight, it what proves to be another twist in the 2009-2010 Marquette Basketball season. 2009 Wisconsin Mr. Basketball Jeronne Maymon decided to quit the team. No one has given a reason why Maymon left the team but I have the information that I have heard nowhere else (honestly knowing the internet it's probably somewhere because people know people.)
I would like to say that I got this information from an anonymous source from the Madison area. He would perfer if I kept his name out of it and thats completely logical in my mind. Here's what I got from it....
"My Dad's best friend was talking to Tim Maymon last week and he was all fired up because Maymon was saying buzz promised him playing time and a starting spot, and it wasn't happening."
"Marquette was making him play inside and Jeronne wanted to play outside because they thought Jeronne was only going to play one year then go to the NBA, no joke."
"He (Tim Maymon) had already had a few meetings with Buzz. This is a college kid's dad sitting in his coach's office, kind of like Mitch Mustain (former Arkansas quarterback now third-string at USC) so they (the Maymon family) were already not happy then."
"Basically, Jeronne wasn't going to be academically eligible that's why the timing is so convenient with the end of first semester so he just quit, and will maybe play juco or try to transfer somewhere."
All of the following makes sense because if you are from the Madison area or have heard stories about Tim Maymon. He thinks that Jerrone is the next LeBron James and feeds all of that shit into his head therefore you have the problem we have right now. In addition, the academic issue shouldn't be surprising if you look at the interview Tim Maymon did with Todd Rosiak. Basically, he explained that his son was right at 2.0 (in High School!!!) and wanted to raise the grades so they would need a lower GPA to get into Marquette.
I will probably do something later this week on the mistake that was Jerrone Maymon and what's next for the Marquette Golden Eagles. In addition, my source said that Vander Blue, the top Marquette recruit this will not sway his decision on Marquette.

I am of the opinion this is the best thing that has happened to the MU Basketball program. Maymon, aka "Slow Man" was a liability to there style of play.
MU will survive and be better in the long run without this big baby taking up space in this program. UW did the right thing when they walked away from him. There isnt enough room on any team for someone with this grand of an ego. Go home and read a book would you Slow Man !
